Bayh Proposes Another Measure to Pick Nominee

Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN), who endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton for president, "proposed another gauge Sunday by which superdelegates might judge whether to support Mrs. Clinton or Senator Barack Obama," the New York Times reports. "He suggested that they consider the electoral votes of the states that each of them has won."

Said Bayh: "So who carried the states with the most Electoral College votes is an important factor to consider because ultimately, that’s how we choose the president of the United States."

Clinton supporters like this metric because it's the only one proposed so far that currently shows her ahead.

Over at Political Insider, I discuss how both campaigns are trying to "change the goal line" since neither will win enough pledged delegates to secure the Democratic nomination.
